Common questions
How hard is American Tulipwood?
American Tulipwood measures Janka 540 — hard enough to take daily knife work and last for years with a little care.
How do I care for a American Tulipwood chopping board?
Hand-wash it, dry it standing on edge, and re-oil with a food-safe oil when the surface starts to look dry. Never put it in the dishwasher. The full routine is in our care guide.
Is a American Tulipwood board food-safe?
Yes. Every board is finished with food-safe oil and wax, so the surface is safe for food preparation. The finish may contain mineral oil, beeswax, coconut and vitamin E — if you have an allergy, check the care guide before ordering. American Tulipwood itself is a close-grained hardwood well suited to kitchen use.
